Hello all I tryed to search for removing carbon but no luck. Anyways I wanted to know what everyone uses to remove the carbon on there bumper mine seems to be getting blacker and blacker every day I heard turpintine and water will do it but it can also of course hurt your paint . So I wanted to know if anyone else had stuff they used to remove the carbon from there bumper like orange clean or something ? Thanks for reading and thanks for replys which I hope there is cuz I know this is a problem.

 

diluted castrol super clean (come in a gallon bottle) works good

 

I just cleaned mine today with some good rubbing compound. Came right off and looks good. And remember my car is white, so it shows up worse than anyother color.

 

The exhaust soot? I just wipe it off with my hand after I soap the car at the local carwash. I comes right off with no pressure.

 

Just be glad your car isn't white.

 

I also would like to know a good solution to this problem. I have a white FD and no matter how much I wash it, "soot" builds up on the bumper over time. Polishing, rubbing compound, turpentine, etc will clean it off, but that strips the wax off, or some of the paint.
Anyone know of a mild way to clean the black off of the rear bumper??

 

Just use rubbing compound, car polish or clay bar it. It will take it right off and won't take paint off. Thats the only way I get it off without using chemicals.

 

Sweet info guys thanks alot I am definitly trying this tommorow in my car cleanup day.

That's exactly what I use on my white car. It works great and is so easy. Just spray then wipe.

 

amen brotha! simple green does a great job for me. i also try to wax and polish that portion of the car more and that seems to keep the stuff from sticking too badly.

 

i use the clay bar.

but then again i have a black car.

my buddy with the NSX had a diffuser installed and told me that he noticed that the rear bumper and tail lights is so much cleaner.

Diffuser gotta be good for something.............

 

meguiars paint cleaner-step 1 of their 3 step. i have a white fd and was amazed at how well this worked. even took of the yellow oxidation on the gravel guard on the sides.

 

paint cleaner? too bad you're stripping all of the wax/polish/sealers off the paint

you can't just keep doing a stage 1

 

Rubbing Compound

 

- Hey EINSTEIN, you saying rubbing compound, car polish or clay bar has
no chemicals in it?? Oops thats right. You the big mouth with the auto FD.
